Hosiery Boarding and Finishing Equipment
topic
Hosiery boarding presses shape knitted hosiery to standard leg forms under steam pressure at 120 to 140 degrees Celsius, heat-setting the thermoplastic nylon or polyester in the dimensional shape of the foot and leg form to provide dimensional stability and improve product appearance, with boarding form dimensions matched to size specifications and steam pressure and dwell time controlled to achieve heat-setting without yellowing or hand change.
Role
Provides the dimensional shape stability and appearance quality required for retail presentation of hosiery products by heat-setting the thermoplastic yarn in the shaped form geometry, with boarding being essential for synthetic fibre hosiery where shape retention after repeated washing depends on the heat-set memory established during boarding rather than garment construction shaping alone.
